'never touch a running system" ...but I'm a foolish guy and did it and now I have problems.

What I did: I started the wm switcher and switched to fluxbox. Then I want to go back to JWM via wm switcher but the program didn't appear in the fluxbox menus.
So I edited the file /etc/windowsmanager; the only entry was 'startfluxbox' and I changed it to 'startjwm'
On next startup JWM apperared BUT
a) the start of the wm switcher is no more possible, nothing happened
b) I can't no more shutdown or reboot the box!!! Even the cli-command "shutdown' freezes the box.

Uuuurrrrgh, help me, please! I want to get back my perfect working JWM environment. Thanks in advance for any advice.

btw, how do I normally switch to a command prompt in slacko? I use it with the 'trick' Ctrl-Al-t-F1 . But in a 'normal' distro like slackware I can use "logout" which is IMO not available/possible in slacko... (I think so)
